Hello! My name is Calvin. I’m an architectural designer with a Masters degree in Architecture and Building Technology from Yale Univeristy. I currently work at an international architecture firm, and have past experience in everything from fabrication shops to parametric design firms. I grew up playing music, always learning and playing new instruments. When I discovered the field of architecture, I started to see technology as an instrument by which we could create a more beautiful world. From parametrics to game design, I’m proficient in a number of architectural, rendering, data visualization, graphic design, robotics, sound engineering, and animation softwares. Through learning these tools, together we can visualize the world around us!

I'm based in Scotland, UK, with over 35 years of hands-on design and detailing experience in the Architectural (AEC) sector. I work globally as a premier SketchUp Authorised Trainer, CAD & 3D visualisation consultant, and official UK software reseller. My mission is simple: to deliver transformative, results-driven support to professional designers, technologists, and creatives—far beyond the standard training experience.

What sets me apart is not only my extensive background across eight architectural practices, housebuilders, and construction companies but also my proven ability to deliver real-world, project-driven training that meets critical deadlines. I don’t just teach software—I empower professionals to work smarter and faster with tailored, on-project coaching and consultancy that aligns with their exact needs.

With accreditation history from Autodesk and SketchUp (via @Last Software, SketchUp Creators, Google, and now Trimble), I offer unique insight and privileged access as a long-standing UK partner. My relationships with software developers allow me to provide ahead-of-the-curve knowledge and capabilities to my clients—backed by glowing testimonials and long-term partnerships.

Whether it's a design competition or a full-scale project delivery, I consistently deliver high-quality, high-value work with professionalism, clarity, and care. I live and breathe the creative process, and I’m passionate about helping every client succeed—overdelivering at every opportunity.

Architecturally trained and visualization-driven, I create compelling 3D visuals using tools like SketchUp, Lumion, Vray, and Enscape. From large-scale developments to sustainable infrastructure, I help architects and designers bring ideas to life. My work is fueled by global travel, a love of culture, and a deep connection to the natural world.

I earned a B.S. in Business Management and a M.Arch. from the University of Florida. I have eighteen years of experience with a South Florida architecture firm and sixteen years practice with SketchUp. I developed and now mentor a 3D modeling and design team. The team creates nearly 150 3D models a year, with SketchUp being the core program for the day-to-day workflows to efficiently design high-end luxury homes.

For 30 years, together with my partners I have designed work totaling over $12.5 billion located throughout the US, Central America, Caribbean, and Middle East.

We have completed private residences for numerous celebrities, athletes, and CEOs throughout the region. We work discreetly with clients in communities which require a great deal of architectural correctness and an uncompromising professional reputation. World-class interior designers, as part of the team, are able to constantly achieve success due to our ability to coordinate and execute from initial design through construction.

Our partners’ direct involvement throughout the design process, along with select staff specifically trained in estate home architectural and detail, is critical to achieving the level of design and quality which estate homes require. Each residence is a unique, one-of-a-kind legacy properly providing a timeless safe investment of your time and money.

Our designs have merited over 350 national and regional design awards, and are recognized in numerous published works.

I am specifically interested in sharing my workflow and process with other architects to help use Sketchup and Layout in the most efficient way possible.
